Georgia has no statewide law shielding food trucks, so where a truck may set up in Columbia County turns on county zoning and private-property permission. Roving street sales also trigger the county's peddler permit.
Georgia does not preempt local food-truck siting, so Columbia County's zoning ordinance and property rules control where a truck operates. A mobile vendor typically sets up on private commercial property with the owner's permission, consistent with the parcel's zoning district; vending is not an authorized use in residential areas. A vendor who moves place to place selling food falls under the county's peddler rules in Chapter 22, Article VII, which require a permit and limit hours to 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Trucks may not block rights-of-way, fire lanes, or sight distance. Organized events on public property follow the terms set for that event.
Vending without the property owner's consent, in a district where the use is not allowed, or roving without a peddler permit is a violation subject to citation and an order to cease; blocking a right-of-way adds enforcement.
